Warnings • Do not move or carry the Fan while it is operating. When the Fan is operating, the powerful airflow can cause unpredictable movement. • NEVER allow children to play with or around the Fan. • Do not alter or modify your Fan in any way. Use only replacement parts authorized by Sterling. Modifications or use of unauthorized parts could create a hazard and will void your warranty. • Store the Fan in a clean, dry environment. Do not store outdoors or allow water inside the Fan’s motor. If the motor becomes wet, allow it to thoroughly dry before use. • Fan should never be operated near water, as it will create a risk of serious injury from electrical shock. • Handle the Fan with care to avoid causing damage or injury. • Fan should always be operated on a flat surface. Do not operate where the Fan could fall, or on slippery surfaces, as this could increase the chance of injury, fire, or electrical shock. • Keep all materials, liquids, and gases from being drawn into the Fan and never operate the Fan without factory installed safety screens in place. • Do not use the Fan near combustible gas, or for circulating hot air as the Fan could melt and cause a fire or electrical hazard. • Do not take the Fan apart or repair it unless you are qualified to do so. Never repair or service the Fan while the Fan is plugged in. • Make sure the air intake and outlet are free from all materials and away from obstructions, as restrictions may cause the Fan to overheat and cause a shock or fire hazard.
OPERATION The F-29A high velocity Fan is designed for floor drying, water damage restoration, and ventilation. 1) Place the Fan on a level and stable surface. 2) Plug the Fan into a grounded outlet with the correct voltage and amperage. For maximum protection against electrical shock, ALWAYS use a circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. If you are unsure about the outlet, check with a qualified electrician or service person. 3) Turn the switch to desired speed setting and check that the Fan operates properly before letting it run. AUXILIARY OUTLET This Fan is equipped with a built-in GFCI protected outlet that allows you to “daisy chain” together multiple Fans in order to operate in large areas where power outlets are limited or not available. All other warnings for use of this Fan should be strictly adhered to.
ELECTRICAL GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) OUTLET The GFCI protects the user from potential electrical shock. Should it detect a sudden ground fault, the GFCI will interrupt the current and shut the Fan off. It will also fault/trip when a short circuit or an overload occurs. If the GFCI faults/trips, unplug the Fan and look for potential hazards such as standing water, a damaged cord, etc. Once the problem is corrected, plug the Fan back in, push the “Reset” button, located on the GFCI faceplate, and re-start the Fan. If Fan does not re-start, please refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This Fan MUST BE grounded. Grounding provides a path of lease resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This Fan is equipped with a cord featuring a grounding plug that must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is in compliance with all local codes and ordinances. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Never modify the power cord in any way. POWER CORD WARNINGS: Never operate the Fan with a damaged power cord or damaged extension cord as this may lead to electrical or fire hazards. Never unplug the Fan by pulling the cord. Grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out. Take precautions not to use the cord in a way where damage may occur. Keep cord away from all water and heated surfaces. Inspect cord before each use and replace any cord that shows any sign of damage. EXTENSION CORDS WARNINGS: Extension cords must be grounded and be able to deliver the appropriate voltage to the Fan. Extension cords up to 25 feet long should use 14 AWG wire. Cords up to 50 feet long should use 12 AWG wire. When operating the Fan outdoors, do not use an extension cord.
MAINTENANCE • Inspect the electrical cord and wiring for damage or discoloration. NEVER use a Fan that has a damaged cord as it could cause an electrical shock or fire. • Inspect for loose fasteners. • Clean safety screens of the Fan. • Listen for abnormal sounds and shut the Fan off immediately upon hearing unusual noises. • Keep Fan clean. • Use compressed air or a vacuum to remove lint and other debris from the motor, inlet, or fan wheel. • Do not use a pressure washer, water hose, or other water source to clean the Fan. • The Fan has sealed bearings and cannot be lubricated. No oiling is necessary. For information about authorized repair and maintenance call Sterling at (844)822-7787.
